Am sharing another Hobby Art DT card today. This gorgeous set is called 'A Partridge in a PearTree' and is just wonderful!

I have made an acetate tunnel card in pinks & purples, instead of the usual Christmas colours. I think these colours really suit the set.

The paper I have used is from Craft Creations, and I made the card stand by cutting up another card blank and covering the front with a single piece to hide the acetate. I love the little pear that I have stamped on the top of the card, it is such a lovely shape and the partridge is glorious to colour in, but very intricate to cut out though lol!

Today I am sharing a 'Telescope' card that is the blog project over at Little Claire. I have used the gorgeous stamp set 'Butterfly Flourish'. There is a full list of products used and instructions, if you want to make one of these, they are very easy and a great way to use up scrap bits.

I have used a 'Butterfly' embossing folder on the orange elements and have coloured the images in with Promarker's. The ric-rac cream ribbon finishes it off.

My girls break up for half term today, we have some great trips planned and lots of girly shopping, I cannot wait!

We have had so much rain, our garden looks like a swimming pool. Am going to have to get our Molly some wellies, so she can do her business without getting her paws wet lol!

Anyway, here above is my little card using the 'Little Claire Likes' featured stamp 'Poppies'. I absolutely love this little image, lots to colour and shade! I have also stamped in black around the card to give a border. The little tag sentiment goes really well with the daisies in the larger image and have finished off with some soft velvet ric-rac ribbon.

You can purchase this lovely stamp at the reduced price of £3.99 (normally £4.99) whilst stocks are available, until Thursday 24th October. Go via HERE to grab yours.

My mission today (should I wish to complete it), is to tidy and sort my wardrobe. The weather is so grot, I won't be venturing to the shops although I really do need some chocolate to give me energy to complete my mission lol!

Good morning, here is a quick post to share my card for the Monthly challenge over at Little Claire's. The theme this month is 'Child's Birthday'. There is a lovely selection of goodies up for grabs if you enter the challenge. Just pop on over HERE to do so.

I have made a little stepper card using the sweet little girl element in the set.

I have used a great little set called 'Butterfly Kisses' with some gorgeously bright 'Pink Paislee' papers and Memory Box dies.

Here is the inside of my card

Am off out shopping with Georgia today, she has lots of pocket money burning a hole in her purse, so its going to be a two-coffee shop me thinks!

Here is my little card for 'Little Claire Likes' today, using the gorgeous 'Deck the Horns' stamp set that you can purchase at a special price HERE

I have given his little nose a shiny coat of glossy accents and edged with brown ink, as shown.

Have been resting the poorly ankle all weekend, am off back to the doctors this week as its not getting any better. At least I can sit and craft, so all is good, especially as the sunshine is really warm here today.

Good morning, bad blogger here! Life has taken over in the last week. I have had lots of dt work and two workshops to complete, so I do apologise for not being around. I have however, had lots of fun at the Kent & Crawley workshops. Lots of great ladies, which make it more of a social than a workshop. I will make up for it today, by sharing two different cards with you.

Firstly, Little Claire launched a new stamp yesterday, 'Christmas Geese', its a lovely set full of little geese (obviously lol) and a great sized sentiment, which can be used on any card. I have used the same paper on each card, I really love Craft Creations papers, and this one is 'Christmas Scroll'.

My next card is the featured card in 'Little Claire Likes' this week. I have used 'Christmas Changing Tree' and have stamped lots of the little elements to make a border and then around the tree.

Little Claire are offering this cute little set for the special price of £3.99 (normally £5.50) until Thursday 3rd October, just give the lovely Carol a call in the office or order online via the link above.

I do hope you like my 'purple' cards, please feel free to leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you.

I will soon have some wonderful news to share, which I am very excited about, all will be revealed soon :)
